Bucheon won 3-1 in the quarterfinals of the '2025 Hana Bank Corey Cup' against Gimpo FC at Gimpo Salter Football Stadium on the 2nd. Bucheon reached the semifinals of the Korea Cup for the first time in nine years since 2016. The semifinals are Bucheon's best performance at the Korea Cup. On the other hand, Gimpo, which advanced to the quarterfinals by beating the Pohang Steelers in the round of 16, sought to advance to the semifinals for the first time, but was disappointed.
Gimpo put up an elite member. Gimpo's Dongjin Park, which caused controversy against Incheon United, was in charge of the front line again. Lewis Cho Sung-joon was on the left and right. Yoon Jae-woon, Choi Jae-hoon, Designa, and Lee Sang-min were located in the waistline, and the three-back was composed of Park Kyung-rok, Chapman, and Kim Dong-min. Yoon Sang-soo defended the goal. Hong Si-hoo, who was brought on loan from Incheon, was immediately included in the entry.
Kimpo coach Ko Jung-woon added the existing members because there were no players to rotate. He also said, "I couldn't relax because it was a home game." In fact, he said, "I hope it's not Bucheon when I draw." If it's not a championship, there's no point in a cup. "As the semifinals go home and away, it's a burden even if it goes up " "But I'll do my best. Best is done in 90 minutes.

We were strong in Gimpo, but if you look at the content, we always played a one-goal game"I hope they reach the semifinals and compete with good teams to increase their competitiveness and value."
